Sam Raimi

From Evil Dead to Army of Darkness to Spider-Man, director/producer/writer Sam Raimi is making the leap to, wait for it, Disney.

According to 'Hollywood Reporter,' Raimi has signed on to produce the superhero comedy The Transplants, written by Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson, the scribes behind Not Another Teen Movie. Originally pitching the story as comic book fodder, Disney executive Kristin Burr was keen enough on the project to pick it up for development as a film.

Further plot details weren't divulged but there is talk of an ensemble cast being attached to the flick.

Epstein and Jacobson recently co-wrote and directed Extreme Movie, starring Superbad Michael Cera.
